It's Magical
It’s magical
--the glint in a two-year-old’s eyes
as she stands very quietly in front of you,
and you know exactly what she is doing.
It’s magical
--when a grown man takes pieces of
toilet tissue and makes an origami bird
out of them.
It’s magical
--when an old man drops his cane
and does a quick skip on the pavement.
It’s magical
--the look of shame on a puppy’s face
when he has peed on the carpet because
he couldn’t hold it any longer, knowing he
is going to get scolded.
It’s magical
--when the magician shuffles a deck of
cards from one hand to another twelve
inches apart and not one card drops!
It’s magical
--the poet writes an exquisite verse and
has absolutely no idea where it came from.
